So Ive been getting juice from the vape shop down the street. But with the limited selection, I think I want to try getting some online. Problem is, Hubby-the-Billpayer isnt allowing me much of a vape budget... or any for that matter. So when I read the "favorite juices" lists, I automatically think $$$...
So i guess what im asking is if anyone knows of a place to get juice that is well priced for my needs. Im loving big clouds in my dripper, and some nice flavor would be good to help me quit those nasty analogs.
Is it better just to stick with the b&m or could you reccommend somewhere else?

For those on a budget, Mount Baker Vapor is the place to go. I was not a fan of their juices personally, but many are. You can't beat them in price!

I try to buy local as much as I can, but you can get much better deals online, especially if you wait for sales. Check out the Deals and Steals thread here for a lot of good ones -

Also, get verified and take a look at the Classifieds. You can get some good deals on juice there, as well.

Like Mapultz stated MBV is a great choice when you are on a budget. The downside is you definitely get what you pay for. Their juices are often very chemically and not consistent from bottle to bottle. I never found a good juice from MBV (out of around 10+ juices i tried) but i continue to buy Hawk Sauce. It is really bitter but it is a great way of getting that nicotine fix without some nasty flavor. Just don't be afraid to get a couple flavor shots, their juices are very weak. I know it sounds a little sad but when you are on a budget you are on a budget. If i could treat myself i would get NET's from Goodejuice and Virus from Nicoticket.

A good way to present a budget to your husband would be "I spent $xxx on cigarettes a month. I am going to spend only HALF of that on vaping! Woohoo!" ;)

I have a "wish list" going of vendors/juices I want to try. Browse through ECF and the "favorites" posts and see what jumps out at you. With my vape budget each month, I will pick one of the vendors and try a few of their juices. By doing this, I find the ones I really love. A lot of vendors have sample packs and/or small bottles so you can try out the flavor and see if you like it for only a few dollars.

Ahhhaha if only I could get him into it. He still smokes :/ hes tried all my flavors and what not, but w/e.
Thanks for the link to the deals! I just ordered a few from the 40% off sale!
Hubbys reaction was still "hmm. Cool." Melancholy.
:facepalm:

Yeah, that would not go over well with me. He can spend $xxx on cigs a month, why can't you?! Hopefully he'll loosen up once he sees you start saving money. I kept track of what I was spending vs. how much I would have spent on cigs.

Just hang in there! Hopefully you can find a juice you like at a low price. It is definitely trial and error as your taste is unique. The deals and steals thread is great, i always lurk that.

Yes I have gotten some fantastic sales on the Deals and Steals thread which is what I was going to suggest. Of course the most economical way to get good juice..........DIY. And it is fun to do. Good luck to ya and welcome to ecf. Lots of fine people here that can always help. :)
I would love to DIY!! Its just the initial investment :/

How much are you paying at the B&M? It shouldn't be a big deal if you can come under that price point. So, online price + shipping needs to be less than or equal to B&M price + tax. I am sure there are plenty of options out there, since B&M prices tend to be significantly higher than online prices for the same level of juice quality.

That said, you may like MBV and you may not. They are one of the cheapest and their juice works for a lot of folks. Just pick a bunch a flavors that sound good to you, read some reviews to make sure they are generally liked, order at least $15 so you get a free 15mL sample, and use the coupon code FREESHIPPING for free USPS First Class.

I just tried 3 flavors from Bionic Vapor, they are high quality and on sale right now. Countryside is a good cigar flavor, Custard Assault is a solid vanilla custard, and I am not entirely sold on Groundbreaking yet... its not bad and has kind of a caramel chocolate cookie tobacco flavor, but I probably wouldn't re-order it at this point. Their fruity vapes are raved about, but I am not a fan of fruity stuff unless it has a creamy/bakery/tobacco flavor also.

I've heard good things about Killer Juice, they are also cheap but I have yet to try them. I will eventually.

ECBlend is about on par with MBV both in price and quality, but their processing time can be up to a week.

Companies with more than reasonable prices ($0.55/mL or less) and consistently good flavors I've found in my travels:

Ahlusion ($0.53/mL in 30mL bottles, often run sales)

Bionic Vapors ($0.32/mL in 30mL bottles, often run sales)

MadTown Vapor ($0.30/mL in 30mL bottles, often run sales)

The Vapor Chef ($0.55/mL in 36mL order)


Mountain Oak Vapors ($0.53/mL in 30mL bottles, have weekly deals on selected flavors)

I've also found great deals (and freebies!) by watching the Supplier's Forum for contests and deals, and the "Deals and Steals" thread for the same.

Happy bargain vaping!
